Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Nature of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business and Basis of Presentation
Trupanion, Inc. (collectively with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, the Company) provides medical insurance for cats and dogs throughout the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico.
The financial data as of December 31, 2019 was derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and, in management's opinion, have been prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements and include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), stockholders' equity and cash flows for the interim periods. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on February 13, 2020 (the 2019 10-K). The Company's accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the audited financial statements included in the 2019 10-K. Operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or any other interim period.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from such estimates. See Note 1 to the audited financial statements included in the 2019 10-K for additional discussion of these estimates and assumptions.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), using the modified retrospective approach on January 1, 2020. The ASU replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires the use of a forward-looking expected credit loss model for accounts receivables, loans, and other financial instruments. The new standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated statements of operations, balance sheets, stockholders' equity, or cash flows. The Company did not record any cumulative-effect adjustment to its retained earnings upon the adoption.

2. Net Income (Loss) per Share
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock plus, when dilutive, potential shares of common stock outstanding using the treasury-stock method. Potential shares of common stock outstanding include stock options, unvested restricted stock awards and restricted stock units, and warrants.
The components of basic and diluted earnings per share were as follows (in thousands except share and per share information):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2020 2019 2020 2019
Basic earnings per share:
Net (loss) income $ ( 2,558 ) $ 782 $ ( 2,338 ) $ ( 2,445 )
Shares used in computation:
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding 35,426,742 34,876,782 35,193,317 34,593,345
Basic earnings per share $ ( 0.07 ) $ 0.02 $ ( 0.07 ) $ ( 0.07 )
Diluted earnings per share:
Net (loss) income $ ( 2,558 ) $ 782 $ ( 2,338 ) $ ( 2,445 )
Shares used in computation:
Weighted average shares of common stock outstanding 35,426,742 34,876,782 35,193,317 34,593,345
Stock options — 1,457,486 — —
Restricted stock awards and units — 64,868 — —
Weighted average shares of diluted common stock outstanding 35,426,742 36,399,136 35,193,317 34,593,345
Diluted earnings per share $ ( 0.07 ) $ 0.02 $ ( 0.07 ) $ ( 0.07 )
The following potentially dilutive equity securities were not included in the diluted earnings per share of common stock calculation because they would have had an antidilutive effect:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2020 2019 2020 2019
Stock options 1,647,052 2,000 1,647,052 2,199,213
Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units 765,825 43,114 765,825 605,568
3. Investments
Long-term investments are classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value with unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Short-term investments are classified as held-to-maturity and reported at amortized cost. The amortized cost, gross unrealized holding gains and losses, and estimates of fair value of long-term and short-term investments by major security type and class of security were as follows as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Amortized
Cost Fair
Value
Available-for-sale:
Due after one year through five years $ 5,037 $ 5,038
$ 5,037 $ 5,038
The Company does not expect any credit losses from its held-to-maturity investments, considering the composition of the investment portfolio and the credit loss history of these investments. For available-for-sale debt securities, the Company determined that the unrealized losses were immaterial and due to non-credit factors. The Company does not intend to sell, nor is it more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell, the securities prior to maturity or prior to the recovery of the amortized cost basis.
4. Other Investments
Investment in Variable Interest Entity
In July 2018, the Company purchased $ 3.0 million in preferred stock of a privately held corporation with a complementary business line. In October 2019, the Company purchased an additional $ 4.0 million in preferred stock upon the exercise of an option by the variable interest entity. The Company does not have power over the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the variable interest entity and is, therefore, not the primary beneficiary. The Company has the option to purchase all of the outstanding common shares issued by the variable interest entity on the fifth anniversary of the initial preferred stock purchase.
9
Additionally, the Company has extended a $ 2.5 million revolving line of credit to the variable interest entity to fund its inventory purchases. The Company's investment and amounts loaned under the line of credit are recorded in other long-term assets on its consolidated balance sheet. The outstanding loan balance under the line of credit was $ 2.5 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company has also entered into a series of agreements to provide ancillary services to the variable interest entity at cost. The Company provided $ 1.0 million of these services for both of the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which were recorded against its operating expenses.
Investment in Joint Venture
In September 2018, the Company acquired a non-controlling equity interest in a joint venture, whereby it has committed to licensing certain intellectual property and contributing up to $ 2.2 million AUD upon the achievement of specific operational milestones over a period of at least four years from the agreement execution date. As of September 30, 2020, the Company has contributed $ 0.5 million AUD. This equity investment is accounted for using the equity method and is classified in other long-term assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company's share of income and losses from this equity method investment is included in gain (loss) from investment in joint venture on its consolidated statement of operations. Also included in this line item are income and expenses associated with administrative services provided to the joint venture.
5. Fair Value
Investments
The following table summarizes, by major security type, the Company's assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and placement within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):
As of September 30, 2020
Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Assets
Restricted cash $ 1,400 $ 1,400 $ — $ —
Money market funds 1,053 1,053 — —

Foreign deposits 4,037 4,037 — —
Municipal bond 1,001 — 1,001 —
Investment in variable interest entity 7,625 — — 7,625
Total $ 15,116 $ 6,490 $ 1,001 $ 7,625
As of December 31, 2019
Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3
Assets
Restricted cash $ 1,400 $ 1,400 $ — $ —
Money market funds 1,050 1,050 — —
Fixed maturities:
Foreign deposits 3,323 3,323 — —
Municipal bond 1,000 — 1,000 —
Investment in variable interest entity 7,625 — — 7,625
Total $ 14,398 $ 5,773 $ 1,000 $ 7,625
The Company measures the fair value of restricted cash, money market funds, and foreign deposits based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. The fair value of the municipal bond is based on either recent trades in inactive markets or quoted market prices of similar instruments and other significant inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. Short-term investments are carried at amortized cost, and the fair value and changes in unrealized gains (losses) are disclosed in Note 3, Investments. The fair value of these investments is determined in the same manner as for available-for-sale securities and is considered a Level 1 measurement.
10
The Company's preferred stock investment in the variable interest entity (see Note 4) is accounted for as an available-for-sale debt security and measured at fair value at each balance sheet date. The estimated fair value of the preferred stock investment is a Level 3 measurement and is based on certain unobservable inputs such as the value of the underlying enterprise, volatility, time to liquidity, and market interest rates. An increase or decrease in any of these unobservable inputs would result in a change in the fair value measurement. Estimated fair value was $ 7.6 million as of September 30, 2020, unchanged from December 31, 2019, recorded in other long-term assets on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. An unrealized gain of $ 0.6 million was recorded in other comprehensive income in the quarter ended December 31, 2019.
Fair Value Disclosures
The Company's other long-term assets balance included notes receivable of $ 5.9 million as of September 30, 2020 and $ 6.1 million as of December 31, 2019, recorded at their estimated collectible amount. The Company estimates that the carrying value of the notes receivable approximates the fair value. The estimated fair value represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy and is based on market interest rates and the assessed creditworthiness of the third party. There was no significant activity in Level 3 of the hierarchy during the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
The Company estimates the fair value of long-term debt based upon rates currently available to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. This is a Level 3 measurement. Based upon the terms of the debt, the carrying amount of long-term debt approximated fair value at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019.
The Company recognizes transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy on the date of the event or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019.
6. Debt
The Company has a revolving line of credit of up to $ 50.0 million, maturing June 2022. The facility is secured by any and all interests in the Company's assets that are not otherwise restricted. Interest on the revolving line of credit is payable monthly at the greater of 4.5%, or 0.75% plus the prime rate ( 4.50 % at September 30, 2020). The credit agreement includes other ancillary services and letters of credit of up to $ 4.5 million. It also requires a deposit of restricted cash of $ 1.4 million and a minimum cash or investment balance of $ 2.1 million. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with various financial and non-financial covenants. As of September 30, 2020, the Company was in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants required by the credit agreement.
Borrowings on the revolving line of credit are limited to the lesser of $ 50.0 million or the total amount of cash and securities held by the Company's insurance subsidiaries (American Pet Insurance Company and Wyndham Insurance Company (SAC) Limited Segregated Account AX). As of September 30, 2020, available borrowing capacity on the line of credit was $ 19.9 million, with an outstanding balance of $ 0.2 million for ancillary services and letters of credit, and borrowings under the facility of $ 30.0 million, recorded net of financing fees of $ 0.1 million.
7. Commitments and Contingencies
Certain state insurance regulators in the United States have contacted the Company regarding whether employees who had helped prospective members enroll by telephone in prior years were required to have an insurance license to conduct such telephone conversations. To date, the Company has resolved each of these matters in non-material amounts and believes it is compliant with the applicable regulations. The Company is currently engaged with a limited number of state insurance regulators to resolve this same legacy issue and believes it has adequately reserved for these matters.
In addition, from time to time the Company is or may become subject to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings against members, other entities or regulatory bodies. Estimated liabilities are recorded when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. At this time, the Company does not believe any such matters to be material individually or in the aggregate. These views are subject to change following the outcome of future events or the results of future developments.
11
8. Reserve for Veterinary Invoices
The reserve for veterinary invoices is an estimate of the future amount the Company will pay for veterinary invoices that are dated as of, or prior to, its balance sheet date. The reserve also includes the Company's estimate of related internal processing costs. The reserve estimate involves actuarial projections, and is based on management's assessment of facts and circumstances currently known, and assumptions about anticipated patterns. The Company uses generally accepted actuarial methodologies, such as paid loss development methods, in estimating the amount of the reserve for veterinary invoices. The reserve is made for each of the Company's segments, subscription and other business, and is continually refined as the Company receives and pays veterinary invoices.
